《雅歌》与伊甸园

The Song of Songs and the Garden of Eden

《雅歌》与《创世记》中的伊甸园神话之间存在一种显而易见的可比性。《雅歌》分享了伊甸园神话的预设,又是对伊甸园神话的一种逆转,因为它描绘了一个因爱情而被重新发现的尘世中的伊甸园。《雅歌》改造了伊甸园故事的形象和主题,可被视作伊甸园故事的一种注解。园在《雅歌》中起背景作用,是其中使用最频繁的意象,本文将它与伊甸园的神话原型联系起来,指出二者的相关性和差异性。

there is a particular useful comparison can be made between the Song of Songs and the myth of the Garden of Eden in Genesis,whose preoccupations it shares,and of which it is an inversion,since it portrays Paradise in this world,rediscovered through love.The Song transforms the images and motifs of the story of the Garden of Eden,so that it can be seen as a commentary on it.The garden functions as a setting and a fully-worked image in the Song,and the author will relate it to its mythological prototype in the garden of Eden and plot their correlations and defferences.
